I shared this news with my friends at "million airefr iends com".Many people are very interested in this. I never expected it got over 1000 hitts there. They are discussing it there.

Perez-

The only bands you like are mainstream bands and mainstream ones trying to pretend not to be (Jenny Lewis, Tegan and Sara)

Could that lineup be any more LAST YEAR. Time to catch up ACL.

You like that, but not Coachella? ick.
Vics says – reply to this

Yay!!!

Perez come to Austin!!!!!
Brian says – reply to this

22

With the exceptions of Beck and Erykah Badu, this is an extremely disappointing line-up. Foo Fighters? Not that they're a horrible band, but any festival that has them as the headliner is pretty damn pedestrian. To think that last year's headliners were Bob Dylan and Bjork.

At least there's still Lollapalooza, right?
PinkYo says – reply to this

G Love - Awesome!

Yay.. DUFFY… Headlining…. Click on her name for a sample….She's blowing up all over the planet…She's gonna be huge.

YEAH! The Eli Young Band!!!
Amanda says – reply to this

Yay Slightly Stoopid!
austinite says – reply to this

31

the foo fighters would've maybe been a cool headliner uh SIX YEARS AGO. i'm tempted to say the same about beck. this lineup is so much worse than last year, i'm definitely not going. seriously last year was (the!) BOB DYLAN, BJORK, MUSE, ARCADE FIRE, WILCO etc…..it's definitely not worth the $170 pass. SOOOO NOT. WORTH. IT.
Gwen says – reply to this

32

Don't try and pretend you like anything that might have a bit of substance. We know you never stray from your usual gay fare of Fergie and Madonna tunes. The majority of these names suck. I fucking LOVE Neko Case, though. I'd go just to see her!!
Coy says – reply to this

33

Pretty good? It's pretty fucking GREAT, that's what you meant to say.
Band of Horses Fan says – reply to this

34

BAND OF HORSES. BAND OF HORSES. BAND OF HORSES. BAND OF HORSES. If you "click" on one band from the list, pick this one. Music is lovely and wonderful and yummy and sad and happy. Go see BAND OF HORSES when they come to your town. Better yet, DON'T. I don't want the competition for getting a ticket.
WTF no Wilco? says – reply to this

35

Why no Wilco? WTF? Not worth it unless they change the venue to include Wilco.
GREAT BIG SEA says – reply to this

36

Get your head out of yer arse, Austin City Limits Organizers. Call up north and beg Great Big Sea to come to Austin. Great Big Sea is Canada's Best Kept Secret. I needs to see me b'ys.
Another GBS FAN says – reply to this

37

YA! YA! YA! Throw in some other Canadians while you're at it! Perez, you claim to love Canada, but where is the love for the Canadian music! Guess we'll have to start a Calgary City Limits! North America, that is…..
Queen B says – reply to this

38

BUY MY TICKET PEREZ I'M A POOR MEXICAN COLLEGE STUDENT DAMNIT!!!! GO HORNS!!!
phishfood says – reply to this

39

Okay, since everyone is weighing in on their favorites, let's make it a big hippie jam fest: Ratt Dog, Phil Lesh and Friends, Wilco, Dave Matthews, and PHISH PHISH PHISH PHISH PHISH.

emoney says – reply to this

43

Hey smarts. May want to clarify that you posted the ACL festival lineup not the ACL lineup. ACL is a show first, festival second.

Dissapointed no Ghostland Observatory this year
Tegan and Sara are Canadian! says – reply to this

48

To the earlier comment about Canadians at Austin City Limits……what "aboot" the twins!
Beck and Scientology says – reply to this

49

Beck can't help being a Scientologist anymore than I can help being born into a weirdo fuckin' Baptist family that believes that anyone who dances is possessed by the de-vil. Don't know if he is a lapsed xenu or if he's active. The more I hear about Scientology the worse I feel about those FLDS peeps in Texas. Forget about all those Laura Ingalls Wilder lookalikes….save Suri Cruise!
Shannon says – reply to this

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

liv says – reply to this

53

ok, this lineup is sad.

FOO FIGHTERS HEADLINING?….i mean to put the damn foo fighters above ROBERT PLANT OF LED ZEPPELIN is beyond me. i mean seriously, the foo fighters could not be more mainstream…..its pathetic.

whatever happened to ACL being famous for having legends like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty headlining?

Re: barton springs 1 –

Wow, seriously? You're an idiot. SXSW is totally Austin!!! And Perez isn't hurting Austin in any way by talking about it.
Texanne says – reply to this

56

The Raconteurs, Vampire Weekend, Silversun Pickups, and NERD are awesome. ACL is more about cool up and comers than big headliners.
your deara says – reply to this

57

afterparty!! afterparty!!! Perez, throw an AFTERPARTY!!! i love you, cutie!!

and also…whatever about those just now discovering Austin and how everyone should "bugger off" (wish you were a Brit, much?)…let them come! didn't your mom ever teach you the value of sharing? those festivals, and all the tourists that come out to see them, are just as much a part of Austin as you are, simple bitch.
